These individual sized cookie tins are upcycled nut cans. I buy a lot of raw nuts to make homemade trail mix and started saving up the cans.
I used gift wrap to cover the cans. Simply measure the gift wrap so that it wraps around the can and secure with double-sided tape.
Wrap up some cookies – homemade or bakery bought in clear cello wrap and use some pretty ribbon or strips of fabric to tie the top.
I used fabric from my stash including a strip of vintage linen.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
You make everything look so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of great ideas, Carolyn. I agree with Annie. Looks very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant upcycle, Carolyn! They look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! I love nice gift packaging, whether its for edible gifts or other presents, it just adds so much to the gift itself! This is such a great idea, and the "cookie tins" look beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteIs the edges around the inside of can sharp where pull open lid was ?
ReplyDeleteThe cans I buy are.
The cans I'm using don't have sharp edges. Definitely something to think about though when making these. Thanks.
